Terrified girl, 5, left alone for almost an hour after school bus dropped her off at the wrong place

A five-year-old kindergartener spent nearly an hour crying on the porch of her empty home after her school bus driver let her get off the bus with no adult to meet her.

The driver was supposed to take little Abigail Capponi to her day care, while her parents were at work, but the driver mistakenly took the girl to her empty home in Gray, Maine, which is off a busy road.

Concerned that the girl hadn't arrived, the day care alerted the child's parents - who raced home to find their scared daughter sobbing.

The girl's mother, Katie Capponi, told WMTW-TVshe found her daughter 'curled up in a ball on our front porch crying' on Thursday afternoon.

'No cars in the driveways, I don't know how he just let her off. She's five,' the shocked and horrified mother said about then negligent driver.
